Living things
The world around us is full of living things which depend on each other for survival.
At Tonysguboriau learning about living things is not restricted to the classroom. We have wonderful school grounds that the pupils use to learn about nature, visiting our school woodland, pond and field. We carry out investigations at our local river and take trips to carry out other activities.



By recognising the diversity of living things and how they interact with their environment, learners can develop an understanding of how these have evolved over significant periods of time. All living things require specific conditions and resources to survive and they may have to compete with other organisms to do so. Humans form part of the living world and our decisions and actions, along with natural selection, can have a significant impact on the diversity of life. Knowing about the structures and functions of living things enables learners to understand how these things grow, develop and reproduce successfully. Developing an understanding of the factors which affect the health and success of organisms allows us to make informed decisions about our physical health and how we impact the natural world, including about the prevention and treatments of diseases.
